Abstract

UV hard-surface disinfection system that is able to disinfect the hard surfaces in a room, while minimizing missed areas due to shadows by providing multiple UV light towers that can be placed in several areas of a room such that shadowed areas are eliminated and that can be transported by a cart that is low to the ground such that the towers may be loaded and unloaded easily by a single operator. The system is able to be controlled remotely, such that during activation of the system, no operator is present, and to automatically cut power to all towers in the event that a person enters the room.

Claims

1. A disinfection system comprising:

a plurality of independently placeable light assemblies; and

a control station in data communication with the plurality of light assemblies;

wherein said control station is capable of remotely controlling activation and deactivation of said light assemblies.
